Biden's student debt scam

 Charles C.W. Cooke:

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the cases of Biden v. Nebraska and Department of Education v. Brown. The long-term stakes could not be higher. The proximate question in those cases is whether the president of the United States is permitted to use the 2003 HEROES Act to forgive up to a trillion dollars in student loans without congressional approval. The real question at hand is whether the executive branch will be allowed to transmute a brazen, flagrant, cynical lie into a politically motivated spending binge that eats up 4 percent of America’s GDP, and thereby to signal that the limits on presidential power within the U.S. Constitution are functionally dead.
...

There is much more.

I suspect the conservative majority on the court is also skeptical that Biden can do what he is trying.  As college became more expensive student debt has increased at a rate beyond many people's ability to afford it even with loans.  Something should be done to rein in the cost and one way to do it is to limit the amount that can be borrowed to pay for it.

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
